Property Description

A unique opportunity to step inside a perfectly preserved Greek Revival cottage perched along the Hudson River -- a true rarity, with only so many of these storied riverfront homes remaining. The Tivoli River House transcends time in every sense. Each room feels like a time capsule: deeply rooted in the past, yet perfectly suited for the present.Two spacious living rooms anchor either side of a hand-carved wooden staircase, flowing naturally onto a front porch where boats drift quietly along the Hudson, a timeless ritual that belongs entirely to this address.A well-appointed eat-in kitchen opens onto a bluestone patio made for dinner parties that linger late into warm summer evenings. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms each offer their own distinct character, one tucked privately toward the back of the home, the other graced with a charming balconette that brings sky and treetops into every morning. A third generous room invites itself to become whatever you need most: a home office, library, art studio, or reading sanctuary.Two full bathrooms, quaint and thoughtfully considered, feature custom hardware and bespoke vanities. In this light-filled home, no detail was overlooked.Below, a guest suite offers a private world of its own, complete with one bedroom, one bathroom, a kitchenette, and flexible living space. Ideal for visiting guests, extended family settling in for a season, or a separate home office entirely removed from the rhythm of the main house.Mature trees, a breathtaking Japanese maple, established magnolias, wildflowers, and swaying tall grasses surround the home, while intentional plantings create both privacy and a deep sense of place. The house feels utterly rooted in its landscape, as though it has stood quietly along the banks of the Hudson forever.Just beyond the front door, stroll through one of the most charming villages on the east side of the Hudson. Tivoli is home to some of the regions most beloved destinations, from Tivoli General to the warmth of GioBatta Alimentari, along with ice cream from Fortunes that earns a detour all its own. With a budding arts scene, the creative energy of nearby Bard College spilling into the streets, and a community that hums with life in all the right ways, there is something for everyone in this perfectly imperfect Hudson River town.The Tivoli River House is truly one of a kind, and the next steward will be fortunate to carry its story forward.
